🎥 My eCard to You – Hey, Writers. I See You.
Hey friends,
Whether you’re just starting out, halfway through your first (or fifth) manuscript, querying, revising, or already published—I see you. The dreams, the doubts, the late nights, the quiet hope that your story will find its readers, and sometimes even your family who doesn’t understand… It all matters.
This video is my reminder to every writer out there (and to myself on the hard days):
• It doesn’t matter what stage you’re at. You belong at the table. You have something to say and we need your voice. You are carrying huge breakthroughs inside of you. It might seem little (or normal), but those keys you hold can unlock something BIG in one of us. It might be a passing comment at a live Zoom meeting or a comment on a post… Don’t diminish how important you are.
• Doubts and fears will always show up. Imposter syndrome and everything else will come to call even if you’ve written 100 novels. Just keep slaying those dragons. The battle is won first in the mind, and then in the grind. A healthy community is essential. Together we are stronger. Together we succeed.
• The is only one you, and you bring a unique perspective to the page. Storytelling is a high calling. You have been chosen. Steward it well.
Keep writing. Keep moving forward. Your story matters, and that includes your personal life story too. I’m committed to helping us all navigate the pitfalls, heal from our past, and reach greater heights of creativity.
We don’t have to be miserable artists. We can be happy and whole and write amazing stories that will heal us and our readers. There is never a “just” when you write. You are not just a (genre writer or insert into blank), when you come to the page, there is a deeper work going on.
Thank you all for being a part of this community. ♥️♥️♥️ Your involvement means I get to keep creating content, slinging encouragement, and digging up resources. This causes me to keep pushing myself to go deeper, explore hard subjects, and uncover the gold. I love to learn and you give me that excuse. Thank you.
I love hearing your stories, seeing your progress, and celebrating your wins. Thank you for honoring me with your presence. Thank you for being YOU!
With gratitude,
Brandy
